So what I could have really said here was I have to many interests to fill out here but what the hey I felt like doing some typing.

This is the point where I use the program BartPE and back-up everything and wipe, then do a complete reinstall. In my opinion the best way to ensure all viruses, spyware, trojans, corrupted system files etc... is just completely reinstall and there really isn't much of a way around it without just wasting time.

Okay, I got the right thread this time, The first post I made in the "Newbie Diving into Linux" was meant to go in this thread again folks I am sorry about this I don't mean to confuse anyone... I am only trying to help new people to linux with things I have learned from my own experience with using Linux.

Earlier up when I made my comment about holding off on jumping right into BT if one is new, wasn't meant as a discouragement from checking BT out. I am not saying Linux is to terribly difficult to learn either, I was just saying that for learning linux itself, starting out first on an install such as Debian/Ubuntu, Mandrake, Red Hat/Fedora, Suse, LinuxMint, etc... might make it a little simpler at first. Distros such as Knoppix STD and BackTrack are geared towards penetration testing more specifically than a typical desktop install of some flavor of Linux. So of course if this is the focus of the individual then that's great but at any rate when it comes to learning the basics, a good book or more helps a lot with garnering knowledge. I would recommend checking this Linux in a Nutshell book out http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596004828

Wow, I just read this 'FallenSword' games' Usage Agreement, this is just a couple of statements that caught my eye: "Bugs which are a potential exploit to the game should not be posted publicly. They should be brought to the immediate attention of Hunted Cow Studios Ltd via our support centre (http://support.huntedcow.com)" "Due to a minority of players abusing the recruitment system, if a player on the same IP address as you uses your recruitment link you will not be awarded any Fallen Sword Points for that recruit." I just wanted to check out the user agreement to see what it had to say. Anyway, depending on the nature of the hack I could see why one could spend a lot of time with this.

If nothing else this has been an entertaining site and through my tumbling down the rabbit hole I came across this link which has nice pictures http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2008/09/most-alien-looking-place-on-earth.ht

From what I understand Ext4 uses "multiblock allocator" (mballoc) which allocates many blocks in a single call, instead of a single block per call is one of the improvements made and through splitting of huge files into smaller "extents" avoids the issues found in ext3 which uses an indirect block mapping scheme. For a better understanding here one link I found that may help. http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4

My personal preference is also VLC but I would suggest sampling several programs until one finds what they most prefer, one program may be great for one but not so great for another, though I will say I have had some difficulty getting everything to run smoothly when I attempted to use RealPlayer.
